Quotes:

Linx:We're sworn enemies, Doctor. Why should you help me? Dr. Who:Because I want something from you. If you will let me de-hypnotise the people and send them home, and help me capture Irongron and his men, then I will assist you in the repairs to your spaceship. The weapons you've made for Irongron you can leave here in the castle. When it's empty, you can take-off, destroying castle and weapons at the same time. Alright, Commander Linx, what do you say? Linx:You wish for my answer, Doctor? Dr. Who:I do. Linx:Then here it is. [...] See more »

`Doctor Who', in a nutshell, is probably the most imaginative show ever
created. Initially, it was about an eccentric time-traveller from another
planet, who looked human and affected an English manner and style. The
interior of his time machine (called a TARDIS) was huge and highly advanced,
but the exterior quaintly resembled an English public call box. The Doctor
was a self-imposed exile from a race of powerful beings called the Time
Lords. The Time Lords observed history, but never interfered with it. This
bored the almighty heck out of the Doctor, so he made off with an older
TARDIS and decided to see the Universe for himself.

When the original actor who played the Doctor decided to leave the show, the
writers came up with the inventive concept of `regeneration'. Whenever the
Doctor was close to death, or actually killed, he would `regenerate' into a
new body (and persona). The show went through seven highly talented actors
in this fashion.

The format of the show was highly adaptable. Didn't like the way the show
was going? Just wait two or three years. The style always seemed to change
whenever there was a change of Doctor, producer and/or script editor. The
series went from educational children's drama to monster show to intelligent
adult sci-fi/drama to gothic horror to high camp, et cetera, et cetera, and
so forth.

This was a wonderful, imaginative, fun show when it was on. I was sad to see
it go.
